2-2 Installing a CPU in a Socket 370

The Intel Socket 370, designed for the Celeron processor, has been incorporated as
a standard mainboard specification To insert your CPU into Socket 370 please do
the following:
1. Locate a small dot marked on the top surface of the CPU close to one if it's corners.
The same corner will also be cut off, leaving a noticeable notch in the CPU's corner.
These markings indicate Pin 1 of the CPU.
2. Pull up the lever of Socket 370 so that it is perpendicular with the surface of the
mainboard. Gently insert the CPU with Pin 1 at the same corner of Socket 370
that contains the end of the lever. Allow the the weight of the CPU to push itself
into place. Do not apply extra pressure as doing so may result in damaging your
CPU. Snap the lever back into place.
Installing a heat sink with cooling fan is necessary for proper heat dissipation
from your CPU. Failing to install these items may result in overheating and
possible burn-out of your CPU.
2-3 Setting Your CPU's Parameters
Jumperless CPU setting enables the user to setup a mainboard's CPU Host/PCI Clock
values through an easy to use BIOS setup procedure. It is no longer necessary to
make many jumper settings as on conventional mainboards.
1. After installing all your hardware into your PC system, turn on your system's
power. Enter the CMOS Setup Utility by pressing the Delete key when your
BIOS identification screen appears.
2. Move the cursor to Chipset Feature Setup menu and press Enter. Find the CPU
Host/PCI Clock Setup commands at the right hand side of the BIOS screen.
3. Select the CPU Host/PCI Clock value according to the speed of your Celeron
processor.
4. Press Esc to return to the CMOS Setup Utility, press F10 to Save and Exit Setup
and choose 'Y' to confirm. The system will automatically reboot and during startup
you will see the correct CPU type shown on the screen.
